Two new TV domestic correspondents for the Zurich Schaffhausen region
Starting in October 2018 and January 2019, respectively, Simon Hutmacher and Simone Herrmann will begin reporting as TV correspondents for Swiss Radio and Television from the Zurich-Schaffhausen region. They will take over from Kay Schubert and Brigit Weibel.
Swiss Television welcomes two new Zurich Schaffhausen correspondents, Simon Hutmacher and Simone Herrmann. Simon Hutmacher holds a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from the University of Zurich and a Master's degree in New Media Journalism from the University of Leipzig. In 2013, he worked as a video journalist for Tele Top before moving to the newsroom at Radio Energy just under a year later. In 2015, he joined "Schweiz aktuell" as part of the trimedial SRF Stage. After two years of training, he was hired as a permanent editor.
From October 2018, Simon Hutmacher will take over from Kay Schubert, who has moved to the private sector. The 30-year-old is very much looking forward to the new challenge and reporting from the Zurich Schaffhausen region: "The area is characterized by its high level of dynamism - political decisions of a pioneering nature for the whole of Switzerland are made here time and again."
Simone Herrmann studied German and Film Studies at the University of Zurich. She first came to SRF in 2008, during an internship at "Tagesschau". She then worked as a journalist for Schaffhausen television from 2009 to 2012. From 2013 to 2015, she completed the SRF Stage and trained as a trimedial journalist. Since completing her training, she has worked for "Schweiz aktuell" as an editor and video journalist.
